SIMMS SCHOOLMISTRESS FELLOWSHIP, 1999

Applications are invited for a Simms Schoolmistress Fellowship at Lucy Cavendish College, for one term during the academical year 1999-2000. No specific duties are attached to the Fellowship, but the Schoolmistress Fellow will be expected to reside in or near Cambridge and to participate in College life. The purpose of the Fellowship is to enable the holder to pursue her own intellectual interests in an academic environment and/or to follow recent developments in education, as well as to offer the opportunity for an interchange of ideas on education or in specific academic fields. Certain meals will be provided, the Fellow will receive a maintenance allowance of £100, and a study-bedroom can be provided in the College for the duration of the Schoolmistress Fellowship. It is assumed that a salary will continue to be paid by the Fellow's employers and that substitute teaching will be provided at no expense to the Fellow.

Applications will be considered from women* graduates who hold full-time teaching posts in the United Kingdom in a primary or secondary school (private or public sector), a College of Further Education, or an institution involved with pre-university education in the public sector. Applicants should send, in triplicate, a brief statement of their proposed study project, a curriculum vitae, and the names of two referees to the Registrar, Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, CB3 0BU. The closing date is 22 January 1999.
